The aims of this thesis was to create and validate a scale of ethical dissonance at work. Ethics is essential in organizations, where it participates in the regulation of the activity of professionals in the medico-social sector. This work mainly concerns employees in this sector. Ethics is a concept that we examine through the prism of Festinger's (1982) theory of cognitive dissonance. An exploratory phase combining a qualitative methodology by means of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis with a quantitative approach, by a survey of knowledge in ethics, then by an analysis of the social representations of ethics in the medico-social sector, has made it possible to circumscribe the concept of ethical dissonance (Barkan, 2015; Cherré et al., 2014). During this phase, Forsyth's (1989) ethical positioning questionnaire was validated in French on a population of medico-social sector employees to provide a control reference during the nomological validation of the ethical dissonance consonance scale. Exploratory factorial analysis revealed a two-factor structure, on the one hand, an ethical dissonance consonance dimension and, on the other hand, a "Well Acting" dimension. We confirmed this dual structure during the confirmatory factor analysis. Analysis using Mokken's (1971) scale procedure validated the structural independence of the two scales. The nomological validation study led us to compare the Ethical Dissonance scale and the Well Acting scale with three major concepts in occupational psychology: burnout, depression and intention to leave. We hypothesized a mediating effect of the dissonance scale between these concepts and commitment and suitability for the position (PjFIT), the organization (PoFIT). The results highlighted the mediating effects of ethical dissonance associated with an antagonistic mediating effect of the Well Acting. The moderating effect of self-esteem on ethical dissonance mediation was significant for depression. Validations confirmed the stability of the ethical dissonance scale in three separate samples, the results for the ethical dissonance scale are satisfactory and need to be refined. This work should also lead us to reflect on the place that should be given to ethical competence in training courses and in continuing education, as it can be a source of suffering these professionals

Using an ecological perspective, the current research developed a theoretical framework that suggests that environmental and personal resources related to physically active leisure, as well as the interactions between them, contribute to well-being. A distance-running event was examined as an environmental resource for enhancing global life satisfaction, a key measure of subjective well-being. In contrast, the constructs of behavioral involvement and psychological involvement were used to measure personal resources resulting from physically active leisure. The proposed framework was tested with a set of three studies in which participants were recruited through a survey panel from a 10-mile distance-running event in the US. Study 1 performed a partial least squares structural equation modeling analysis to examine whether the distance-running event contributed to behavioral and psychological involvement and whether such involvement, in turn, promoted global life satisfaction. By using longitudinal data over a 5-month period, Study 2 used a latent growth modeling approach to investigate whether the distance running event was able to enhance participants' psychological involvement and whether such change promoted global life satisfaction. Study 3 conducted a moderated mediation analysis to examine the influence of personality, behavioral and psychological involvement, and two environmental resources of the distance running event and an organized running club on global life satisfaction. The results of the three studies suggest that a distance-running event can serve as an environmental resource that promotes participants' behavioral involvement and psychological involvement in the activity. The results also indicate that psychological involvement plays an important role in promoting global life satisfaction, whereas behavioral involvement may be insufficient to promote global life satisfaction. Overall, the current research contributes to the sport management and leisure literature by providing scholars with a new way of understanding the benefits of physically active leisure. The findings from the current research also provide practical implications for government and community leaders to enhance people's well-being by promoting physically active leisure in their cities and communities.

To mitigate the impact of a Blowout Preventer (BOP) failure, this work proposes a method and machine that can create a gradual flow reduction to zero in an offshore well by introducing a mechanical plug inside the BOP. The backup safety tool, referred to as the Hampering Active Wellbore Kit (HAWK), is a machine that gradually introduces a continuous medium (e.g. wire) from a spool through the choke/kill lines of a failed BOP to gradually stem the flow through the BOP. The machine can couple to a standard choke/kill line on the BOP and can co-exist with the BOP or be deployed at the time of an accident. This work presents the design theory for wire feeding in order to form an entanglement, and the mechanism by which to accomplish the reliable feeding of the continuous structure. The efficacy of the entanglement is evaluated by comparing flow rates of a single experimental wellbore before and after the introduction of the mechanical plug.

The increasing spread of smartphone devices and their pervasive use open up new opportunities in many fields, such as education, health and marketing. The wide range of sensors and communication interfaces and the portability, make it a versatile and useful tool, suitable for many different purposes. The objective of this thesis is to investigate how smartphone applications can improve the Quality of Life of both fragile, such as elderly and disabled people, and healthy people, in the home environment. Particularly, the research focuses on two fundamental aspects: the use of the smartphone as an interface towards smart living environments, and the use of the smartphone as a collector of user’s behavioural data. To this aim, a thorough study of the state of the art has been conducted to identify its advantages and weakness. Subsequently, the research has focused on issues and challenges to face during the design phase of smarphone applications aimed at interfacing and collecting data. More in detail, indications and guidelines have been identified in the literature to enable a proper design and to obtain a useful, usable and acceptable system, paying particular attention to the specific needs of elderly and disabled people, suffering from physical or cognitive impairments. Finally, in order to demonstrate the actual contribution of smartphone applications in incrementing the user’s Quality of Life in the home environment, several use cases have been realized and tested.

A significant decline of mental and physical health exists within college students today (ACHA, 2014; Gallagher, 2006). Recently, to promote mental health, restorative landscapes have emerged as a trend in healthcare environments by formalizing the healing properties of nature within a designed environment. Humans have been shown to undergo a measurable relief of stress, improved attention, and an improved overall sense of well-being when exposed to a restorative landscape setting. Opportunities exist for university campuses to more advantageously employ the mental health benefits of restorative landscapes. Furthermore, to address physical health, the university campus holds unique opportunities to increase students’ physical activity through promotion of active lifestyles using active modes of transportation. Campus streets, based on their lack of affordances to promote mental and physical health as well as their inherent connectivity to key campus buildings and spaces are investigated as a site for a designed solution. A recent trend of campus street conversions to pedestrian malls is identified and explored as a tool to facilitate creation of a restorative and active campus. The project, based in two fundamental research questions, investigates how campus street design can improve the collective mental health of college students, and how campus street design can promote physical health. Literature review analysis reveals theories and principles of restorative landscape and campus design. The project unites these findings with case study analysis to form a framework to facilitate the design of restorative environments within a university campus. Pragmatic evidence of built environment interventions has been synthesized from literature review and case study analysis into an additional framework to increase physical activity through active transportation. Kansas State University’s campus has been identified as a suitable case for a design proposal. Planning and design decisions at three nested scales are made to illustrate how the frameworks may be applied to reclaim a campus street as an active and restorative “garden street.” In the context of declining mental and physical health among college students, the synthesis of principles related to restorative landscape design and active transportation presents a valuable structure to mitigate declining mental and physical health of students.

The purpose of this research was to ascertain how children in lowrisk, middle to upper income areas perceive violence and their experience of it. It explores their exposure to violence and how this may affect their view of the future in terms of their hopes and fears. The research was framed around Frantz Fanon&rsquo
s theory of violence and Urie Bronfenbrenner&rsquo
s Systems Theory. The aims of the research was to explore children&rsquo
s perceptions of violence and how this affects children&rsquo
s sense of wellbeing within the context of South Africa by: i) investigating how much children know and understand about the violence that is prevalent in the country, ii) discovering how this frames their perception of violence and finally iii) explore how this affects their sense of well-being. The participants of the study were 28 male and female grade 6 children, between the ages of 10 and 12 from a private school in the Cape Town metropole. There were three focus groups consisting of 8-11 children per group. This was a qualitative study. The data collection was interpreted through Thematic Analysis. The highest standards of ethical conduct and research practice were adhered to.

A filosofia, para Eric Weil, nÃo à apenas uma visÃo sobre o mundo, ou um saber dogmÃtico ou relativista, mas um comprometimento com a razÃo e com a liberdade enquanto tentativa de compreensÃo do homem, do seu discurso e da sua aÃÃo. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho à compreender o que os termos violÃncia e aÃÃo polÃtica significam na filosofia de Weil, e, ao mesmo tempo, o significado da prÃpria filosofia. Parte-se da relaÃÃo entre filosofia e violÃncia, enquanto ato negador da razÃo e, por isso, problema fundamental para o discurso filosÃfico na sua pretensÃo de compreensÃo absoluta. O especÃfico de Weil à considerar o que o problema da violÃncia representa depois da perspectiva hegeliana de um discurso absolutamente coerente, isto Ã, a consideraÃÃo da insuficiÃncia do discurso Absoluto para dar conta da realidade da violÃncia. Decorre daà a reflexÃo acerca da relaÃÃo entre violÃncia e aÃÃo razoÃvel no campo polÃtico, propondo-se a pensar a polÃtica a partir da filosofia. Weil parte da polÃtica como consideraÃÃo da vida em comum dos homens segundo as suas estruturas essenciais, recuperando uma relaÃÃo positiva entre moral e polÃtica, para erguer, a partir destas indicaÃÃes, uma filosofia capaz de dar conta da polÃtica moderna e lanÃa mÃo da consideraÃÃo da aÃÃo polÃtica como luta contra a violÃncia, seja como violÃncia da natureza exterior, seja na relaÃÃo violenta entre indivÃduo e sociedade, seja na soluÃÃo apontada no Estado moderno como detentor do monopÃlio do uso da violÃncia. O Estado aparece como condiÃÃo para a conciliaÃÃo entre a vida sensata do indivÃduo na moral concreta da sua comunidade e as exigÃncias impostas pelo tipo de racionalidade da sociedade moderna. Por fim, uma vida razoÃvel e dona das possibilidades oferecidas pela sociedade, deve encontrar traduÃÃo na vida polÃtica pela possibilidade de, vencidas as violÃncias da natureza, do indivÃduo e da sociedade, participar das decisÃes que tocam os interesses coletivos. à a transposiÃÃo da resoluÃÃo dos problemas do uso da violÃncia ao plano da discussÃo atravÃs da educaÃÃo do povo polÃtico, tarefa social do filÃsofo e finalidade por excelÃncia da aÃÃo polÃtica. Tal reflexÃo, para ser coerente com seu tempo, deve reconhecer que histÃria, polÃtica, economia e filosofia obrigam o filÃsofo a refletir sobre o destino comum da humanidade, o que Weil faz ao pensar um Estado mundial, categoria concreta na qual reÃne as categorias da moral, da sociedade e do Estado, e onde todas estas categorias polÃticas se articulam em vista da compreensÃo da realidade
For Eric Veil, the philosophy is not a view of the world, a dogmatic or relativistic knowledge, but a commitment with the reason and freedom through the attempt of understanding the human being, his speech and his action. The purpose of this work is try to understand what the terms violence and politic action means in the philosophy of Weil, and at the same time, the meaning of philosophy itself. We start using the relationship between philosophy and violence, related to the negative act of the reason and, thatÂs why, the main problem for the philosophical speech in its pretension of absolute understanding. One of the VeilÂs characteristics is consider what represent the problem of the violence after HegelÂs perspective of an absolutely coherent speech, so that, considering the lack of the absolute speech in order to contain the reality of the violence. As a result, we have the reflection about the relationship between violence and reasonable action in the politic area, in order to think the politics through the philosophy. Weil takes the politics as consideration of the human being living in common according to his essential structures getting back a positive relationship between moral and politics, in order to raise a philosophy that is capable of understand the modern politics and consider the politic action as a fighting against the violence, referring to nature, the relationship between individual and society and the solution in the modern state, as the owner of the monopoly of the use of violence. The state appears as a condition for the conciliation between the sensible life of the individual in the concrete moral and the imposing demand through the rationality of the modern society. Finally, a reasonable life, with the possibilities of the modern society, must find a meaning in the politic life, participating of the decisions of common interest. ItÂs the transposition of the problems solution of the using of violence for the debating area, through the education of the politic people, social task of the philosopher, and itÂs the aim of the politic action. This reflection intends to be coherent, according to its time, must recognize that history, politics, economy, and philosophy, force the philosopher to think about the common destiny of the human kind. ThatÂs what Weil reflects about a world state, concrete category that gather the moral categories, of society and the state, and where all these politic categories are together in the purpose of understanding the reality

Violence is considered to be one of the most critical and threatening global problems plaguing the world today, leaving a trail of devastating consequences to societies, economies, cultures, families and individuals (Desjarlais &
Kleinman, 1997). Adolescents who grow up in a context of violence learn distorted ways of thinking, acting, living and interacting. Aggressive tendencies and violent behaviour become internalised and adopted as acceptable ways to resolve conflict situations. Chronic, continuous exposure to violence results in physical, psychological and emotional disturbances, such as depression, anxiety, lowered self-confidence, sleep disturbances, decreased attention and concentration spans. This study addressed the form of violence known as community violence, i.e. violence that children experience within their communities (either as witnesses or as victims). This study investigated the effects of this negative environmental experience and investigated potential mediating and moderating variables that could influence the harmful effects of such experiences. The variables considered as mediating and/or moderating variables were social support and self-esteem. The theoretical framework adopted for this study was Bronfennbrenner&rsquo

Diallo, Moussa. "Fondements philosophiques du projet d'un Etat mondial chez Eric Weil." Thesis, Lille 3, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017LIL30041/document.
Abstract Our thesis deals with the theme: “Philosophical foundations for a world state project by Éric Weil”. It should be mentioned that the idea of a world state has been explored by many thinkers before and after Weil. Without going into details about the cosmopolitan ideas that have been developed since the Stoicians to contemporary authors, it is to be noted that the idea of a world state has always aimed at single and unique objective: establishing everlasting world peace. The specificity and originality of Weil’s approach resides in his questioning the philosophy underlying the world state concept, that is, the issue of violence. If the problem of the violence of language has been thematized and systematically treated in the Logic of Philosophy. Even though man-inherent violence issue is solved by Moral philosophy, and nature-inherent violence is solved to rational organization of social labour, and violence among individuals dealt with within the framework of nation-states, the fundamental issue of inter-state violence remains unsolved. In the third and last part of his book, Political Philosophy, he suggests the creation of a world state whose aim is “the satisfaction of reasonable individuals within specific free states”Comparing the Weilian conception of the world state with that of Maritain and Kojeve leads to the conclusion that Weil used the term "world state" to designate a global administration of the world society’s social work. In short, the Weilian conception of the world state is philosophically relevant and fully justified. It is philosophically justified because it finds its foundations in the Logic of the philosophy of Weil. It is fully justified because it overcomes such obstacles as nationalism, imperialism, the conflict of cultures by the idea of promoting a pluralistic world state that preserves the diversity of life forms. It is fully justified because it overcomes the obstacle of the right of nations to self-determination by guaranteeing the sovereignty, well understood by sovereign States within the framework of the world state. It is fully justified, because it aims to realize a sensible world, a world of reason in which free, equal and reasonable men will live together. In short, the creation of the world state, as envisioned by Weil at the end of Political Philosophy, would enable mankind to reconcile with itself

For Eric Veil, the philosophy is not a view of the world, a dogmatic or relativistic knowledge, but a commitment with the reason and freedom through the attempt of understanding the human being, his speech and his action. The purpose of this work is try to understand what the terms violence and politic action means in the philosophy of Weil, and at the same time, the meaning of philosophy itself. We start using the relationship between philosophy and violence, related to the negative act of the reason and, that´s why, the main problem for the philosophical speech in its pretension of absolute understanding. One of the Veil´s characteristics is consider what represent the problem of the violence after Hegel´s perspective of an absolutely coherent speech, so that, considering the lack of the absolute speech in order to contain the reality of the violence. As a result, we have the reflection about the relationship between violence and reasonable action in the politic area, in order to think the politics through the philosophy. Weil takes the politics as consideration of the human being living in common according to his essential structures getting back a positive relationship between moral and politics, in order to raise a philosophy that is capable of understand the modern politics and consider the politic action as a fighting against the violence, referring to nature, the relationship between individual and society and the solution in the modern state, as the owner of the monopoly of the use of violence. The state appears as a condition for the conciliation between the sensible life of the individual in the concrete moral and the imposing demand through the rationality of the modern society. Finally, a reasonable life, with the possibilities of the modern society, must find a meaning in the politic life, participating of the decisions of common interest. It´s the transposition of the problems solution of the using of violence for the debating area, through the education of the politic people, social task of the philosopher, and it´s the aim of the politic action. This reflection intends to be coherent, according to its time, must recognize that history, politics, economy, and philosophy, force the philosopher to think about the common destiny of the human kind. That´s what Weil reflects about a world state, concrete category that gather the moral categories, of society and the state, and where all these politic categories are together in the purpose of understanding the reality
A filosofia, para Eric Weil, não é apenas uma visão sobre o mundo, ou um saber dogmático ou relativista, mas um comprometimento com a razão e com a liberdade enquanto tentativa de compreensão do homem, do seu discurso e da sua ação. Deste modo, o objetivo deste trabalho é compreender o que os termos violência e ação política significam na filosofia de Weil, e, ao mesmo tempo, o significado da própria filosofia. Parte-se da relação entre filosofia e violência, enquanto ato negador da razão e, por isso, problema fundamental para o discurso filosófico na sua pretensão de compreensão absoluta. O específico de Weil é considerar o que o problema da violência representa depois da perspectiva hegeliana de um discurso absolutamente coerente, isto é, a consideração da insuficiência do discurso Absoluto para dar conta da realidade da violência. Decorre daí a reflexão acerca da relação entre violência e ação razoável no campo político, propondo-se a pensar a política a partir da filosofia. Weil parte da política como consideração da vida em comum dos homens segundo as suas estruturas essenciais, recuperando uma relação positiva entre moral e política, para erguer, a partir destas indicações, uma filosofia capaz de dar conta da política moderna e lança mão da consideração da ação política como luta contra a violência, seja como violência da natureza exterior, seja na relação violenta entre indivíduo e sociedade, seja na solução apontada no Estado moderno como detentor do monopólio do uso da violência. O Estado aparece como condição para a conciliação entre a vida sensata do indivíduo na moral concreta da sua comunidade e as exigências impostas pelo tipo de racionalidade da sociedade moderna. Por fim, uma vida razoável e dona das possibilidades oferecidas pela sociedade, deve encontrar tradução na vida política pela possibilidade de, vencidas as violências da natureza, do indivíduo e da sociedade, participar das decisões que tocam os interesses coletivos. É a transposição da resolução dos problemas do uso da violência ao plano da discussão através da educação do povo político, tarefa social do filósofo e finalidade por excelência da ação política. Tal reflexão, para ser coerente com seu tempo, deve reconhecer que história, política, economia e filosofia obrigam o filósofo a refletir sobre o destino comum da humanidade, o que Weil faz ao pensar um Estado mundial, categoria concreta na qual reúne as categorias da moral, da sociedade e do Estado, e onde todas estas categorias políticas se articulam em vista da compreensão da realidade.
